The situation in Ohio

This pretty much clears everything up...

Money quote:

It doesn't matter anyway. The Kerry/Edwards campaign wanted to make the case that 250,000 provisional ballots remained, which was clearly an exaggeration. Assuming that absentee ballots, including those from the military, broke exactly even between the two candidates (and that would be a hell of an assumption for military ballots), the remaining provos would all have to be legal and almost every one of them would have to vote for John Kerry.

It's ridiculous on its face. First, as veteran pollworkers told news organizations all night long, provisional ballots have a low rate of acceptance, usually around 25% at best. A good deal of them wind up being cast by ineligible voters, people who went to the wrong precinct or have no proof of residence. Even giving them a 75% approval rating, the best Kerry could get would be around 90,000 fresh ballots into the calculation. If every single one of them voted for Kerry, not only would that be extremely suspicious, it would still leave Kerry about 40,000 votes shy of victory.

Via Fark, for all those lefties who loved to post "countdowns" over the last year or so:
George W. Bush is going to be your President for the next 4 years.
George W. Bush is going to be your President for the next 50 months.

George W. Bush is going to be your President for the next 36936 hours.
George W. Bush is going to be your President for the next 2216160 minutes
George W. Bush is going to be your President for the next 132969600 seconds.

George W. Bush is going to be president until I'm 30. Now there's a scary thought. (Although not as scary as Kerry being president until I'm 30...or even 34!)
